I walked outside between the two buildings at work (seriously, it’s two different towns, but about 10 minutes walk). However I seem to have injured my sciatic nerve, so no more walking was feasible today. I did enjoy reviewing the photos I took on Saturday at a party with some coworkers (Brazilian festival celebration). So, Photos and Walking…[Read more]

took a short walk this evening around the block … no pictures but did enjoy the views.  Sister-in-law moving in tomorrow so lots going on here … going to work at keeping up this challenge … I will NEED it!

This was just what I needed after a stressful  day! My favorite pic was of bright orange flowers  and a blue feather

I took a walk around the gym this morning before I went home.  I always park in the spot farthest away from the building under this tree.  I love this tree.

For me it almost feels like “thank goodness the weekend is over and now you can structure your days”. Since my husband works during the week, I am able to do things on my own time and schedule. Plus being part owner of a dental lab, he does go into work on the weekends but only for a few hours each day. It feels like my schedule is messed up on…[Read more]

“What is the ONE thing you can do, such that by doing it, everything else becomes easier or unnecessary?”

This is a tough one. Maybe if I stop doing things all the time for other people and do more for myself a lot of my stress, anxiety and not feeling appreciated will lessen. I’m not saying stopping ENTIRELY, but pick and choose my battles so to…[Read more]

Actually, right now time isn’t an issue for me but is for my husband. Money on the other hand would be.

So, “what do I want to be/do when I grow up” if neither were an issue is a question I have asked myself since high school. I love dogs and young children (pre-school age because I love not knowing what they might say next–they keep things…[Read more]

Today’s journaling is done! All caught up now!!

Journaling completed today!

Ok, I didn’t complete as scheduled, but I have completed today!!

One thought that occurred to me while writing in my journal on this is when I was a young child (1960’s) feelings were not to be expressed. Children were “to be seen not heard” and if you expressed any feelings you were hushed immediately and told that your feelings were nonsense…[Read more]

Completed today!!!

Thanks Nikki!!!

Out and about in Cranberry today..  pretty day in between rain showers. These flowers caught my eye..  they look so sad!!

It was a short walk due to the humidity but a walk all the same! The crepe myrtles are in bloom and we’re not quite far enough into the summer that everything has turned brown from the heat! It’s all very green here at the moment! <!–more–>

Knowing that physically walking my neighborhood isn’t possible without help (too many hills and my husband always gets home late from work and doesn’t have the energy to help me), I am opting to go out on my back deck and do lots of observing. Our neighborhood is very quiet and our house is kinda secluded from others now that the leaves are on the…[Read more]

😃

Ok, if you start driving now @nikki-massie (10 a.m.) I’m guessing from Baltimore to the Albany, NY area you should be here in time for dinner. 😃

Those options sound great too!

Sounds delicious!  I may have to try it too

Thanks for letting us know.  I hope you’re feeling better from yesterday, as treating that migraine would require some self care!
